An intuitive and ergonomic On-Call Management
Alert integrates advanced on-call management features, allowing you to define in a simple and intuitive way the operators that need to be warned :
- When an alarm is detected, the operators who have to be warned, are selected based on their on-call group membership attached to the alarm and the on-call schedule associated to each group.
- The selected operators are reached using media on the numbers assigned to them in their call list. Calls are made according to their order in the list until the operator is considered effectively warned (call transmitted and acknowledged).
